The girls at work always bring something to snack on, and I get so tired of refusing their treats. I'd love a list of all the candy and munchies out there that are gluten-free so I can join in :D

First, you can do a search of this forum for candy, instead of making a new thread like you did.

The list I have is 12 pages long...you can find it at sillyyak.com or something like that.

For Easter, you can have most Cadbury treats, Jelly Belly Jellybeans, Marshmallow Peeps.

In general, you have to be cautious of mini sizes of any candy- often different recipes.

You can have lots of Hershey's candy, Ghirardelli chocolate, too.

YOu can have 3 Muskateers, Snickers, M&Ms, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, and lots of Willie Wonka candy.

NO LICORICE as far as I know.

You can have Reese's PB Cups, and Charleston Chew. You can have some gummy candies, I forgot the brand.

So, look up the list and ENJOY!

The list is actually on a yahoo group called Silly Yaks. It is a wonderful list. I printed it out and sent it to my son's teacher. She likes to bring in treats/prizes for the kids and she can now go off of the list.

I know of two kinds of licorice that are gluten-free. Running Rabbit is one and it actually has the licorice flavor even in the cherry and raspberry flavors. I can get it at one of the local grocery stores. One that I've ordered online is Candy Tree Organic. It's fruit flavored and more like Twizzlers.

I gotta try that licorice!! Sounds silly, but Twizzlers and Nibs used to be my favorite!

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      Probiotics

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
